Ebay scam question?

Question

suppose you advertised an ipod for sale at a buy it now price of 100 dollars, got the money thru paypal, then didnt send an ipod?

Answer 1

Ebay offers buyer protection of up to $2000.

Since iPods don't cost more than $2000, then the buyer gets their money back and you lose your ebay account and you possibly face legal charges.

Answer 2

I've paid someone for something I didn't receive before and I claimed my costs back through paypal, as paypal have your bank details they would be able to take the money back from the account it was paid into,  You would also more than likely be banned from ebay, buying or selling.

Answer 3

ebay will suspend your account, freeze your paypal account, and access your personal information and seek legal litigation against you, as well as you probable potential buyer. This has happened too many times, there are rules and regulations now, and it isn't easy to rip people off anymore. You'll wind up paying way more than it was worth, and possibly serving a sentence in jail.

Answer 4

than you report it to pay-pal and unless the seller has prove that he sent the ipod you would get your money back !

Answer 5

The buyer would file a claim with Paypal and Paypal will run you down to take the money back by any means necessary.  When Paypal finds you the Buyer will have the choice of filing a lawsuit against you and all of your information will be released to the buyer.

Answer 6

i would contact paypal and have thier account shut down.

i had an incident with ebay too where i bought some ray ban sunglasses and they were fake after asking if they were and the shitbag said they werent ( they totally were, they even smelled like china)

well i contacted paypal had his account got shut down untill i received my money.

be careful with ebay, i dont buy anything from there anymore its way too risky.

Answer 7

That's when ebay should be contacted. They are pretty tough on things like this. It usually doesn't happen, at least not to me. I've been a member of ebay for over 10 years now. I buy and sell on ebay.

Answer 8

If your sure they didn't send it to you then you did get scammed..

SUE!!!

Answer 9

You receive money only through paypal initially. So you receive money after you delver the goods. Your address verification is done at the time of registering as a seller. Chances are slim about cheating.
